Atlas Oyster House is proud to present the next installment of Atlas Beverage Classes (A.B.C.). This semester we will be focusing on breweries, wineries and distilleries, discovering what is going on in the beverage world. In addition to the beverage tastings, we will feature small plates paired with each beverage, as prepared by Executive Chef, Jason Hughes.
A.B.C. will be held outside, on the Harbor View Deck, the first Thursday of the month (January through June) and will feature a local presenter discussing the highlighted beverages. Classes will consist of four tastings of beverages with four small plates to complement each tasting. Classes will cover the basics as well as specific information regarding the history of the brewery/winery/distillery and their beers, wines, or spirits. All beverages will be announced two weeks prior to the event.
There are two classes every month, each an hour and a half long. The first class begins promptly at 5:00 p.m. with the second class beginning at 7:00 p.m. Class cost is $30 per person (plus tax and gratuity), per class, which gets each participant one tasting of each of the featured beverages. In addition, throughout the class, participants should be prepared for “pop quizzes,” where we will be giving away T-shirts, beer glassware, gift certificates and more. Seating is limited, reservations are required; be sure to make yours by emailing taylor@goodgrits.com or calling 850-287-0200. The featured themes for each class are as follows:
June 5: Una Vodka
In their travels through Latin America, they were amazed by the beauty and variety of flowers. This is where it all began, taking the time to discover the extravagant and magical beauty of edible flowers which UNA Vodka infused into delicious essences. The alluring essence was then matched with the purest of spirits, vodka. The UNA Vodka formula combines Begonias with a few other blooms, the bridesmaids, which enhance its distinctive features to reach a perfectly balanced blend. UNA, a revolutionary flower infused vodka created around the principle that only vodka can respect the essence of flowers and only flowers can respect the purity of vodka.
